Another L3id Kbir which follows Ramadan, but this time in the city. It was all very special to spend it with Mounaim's family. We ate sheep for days, watched television, played games, talked, walked, made tea and bread. A lovely break from the everyday living routine. I always feel good when I participate and learn new traditions. It's this very thing which I know I will preciously take back with me to share and remember stateside.'Washr Mbruka Saida L3id Kbir'.
